the post that its in response to is about how insane it is that some of the most transmisogynistic caricatures of all time are from incredibly popular horror movies. i know we as transfeminists have talked about this extensively. but outside of transfem circles... it really hasn't been talked about? like at all?

most tmes (including way too many trans tmes) will look you dead in the eyes and say "wait, i had no idea that the guy who sings that he's a transvestite from transylvania in a movie made by a guy who hates trans women was actually about his horrible shitty views on trans women!"

or even worse, they'll pretend you're insane for even thinking that their stupid movie could possibly be transphobic. after all, how can it be transphobic if the city's pflag has an event where they play it every Halloween?

it being "talked about extensivel [between us]" doesn't mean "everyone is aware of this"

of these magnificent ancient creatures still alive on this world. and I was aware of this at that age because nearly half of them were in a very secretive building on a hilltop near my house, in a last ditch effort by conservation scientists to breed and raise babies.

fifteen. Just born. this season. I cry tears of joy.

With a heavy heart, I come to you all with the news announced by close friends of Cat Frazier that she had passed away on Monday, June 29.

She had been running @animatedtext since 2012, with her impact on the internet SHAPING tumblr. If you have a years long history on this site, you’ve seen her art.

She ran a venue in Oakland called Oakland Secret, a punk venue where I’d vend at regularly as an artist. She made a safe space for queer artists, artists of color, and local furs too. I am forever grateful for her work both in the Bay Area creative scene and online, and am forever changed by the totality of her impact.

I’ll be linking some articles from the 2010’s about her impact online: The Fader | Action | Jezebel | ObviouslySocial

I invite you to take a visit through her archive, and if you have a long history with this site like I do, it’s like walking down memory lane.
